Acoustic Dipole dialog box

Type
Type	Specifies how the acoustic dipole is defined.Magnitude and Direction — Defines an acoustic dipole with a magnitude and direction.You can define an acoustic dipole by specifying a constant complex excitation with real and imaginary parts, constant complex excitation with magnitude and phase angle, or a complex field value that is frequency dependent.Components — Defines an acoustic dipole attached to a coordinate system.You can define an acoustic dipole by specifying a constant complex excitation with real and imaginary parts, constant complex excitation with magnitude and phase angle, or a frequency dependent complex field values for all three Dx, Dy, and Dz complex variables (components).
Name
Name	Sets the name of the acoustic dipole.
Description	Sets description for the acoustic dipole.
Destination Folder
Load Container	Specifies the folder in the Simulation Navigator in which to store the acoustic dipole boundary condition.The list includes the root container and folders that you created using the New Folder command in the Load Container.
Folder Manager	Displays a hierarchical list of folders.To create a new folder, right-click any level of the hierarchy and choose New Folder.
Location
Specify Point	Specifies the spatial location of the acoustic dipole.Select a node or a point on the mesh in the graphics window, or click Point Dialog to open the Point dialog box where you can define the location of the acoustic dipole in several different ways.For more information, see Point dialog box.
Direction
Specify Vector	Available when Type is set to Magnitude and Direction.Defines the direction of an acoustic dipole.For more information, see Vector dialog boxTo reverse the direction of the vector, click Reverse Direction .
CSYS	Available when Type is set to Components.Sets the coordinate system (CSYS) that the software uses to apply an acoustic dipole.You can set Absolute or Cartesian coordinate system (CSYS).For more information, see CSYS dialog box.
Magnitude/Components
Specifies the constant complex excitation with real and imaginary parts, constant complex excitation with magnitude and phase angle, or the frequency dependent complex field values.Note: When Type is set to Components, you can define the three Dx, Dy, and Dz complex variables (components) in terms of Real/ Imaginary, Magnitude/Phase, or Complex Field.
Format	Specifies how the excitation is defined.
Real	Available when Format is set to Real/Imaginary.Sets the real component of the magnitude of the excitation.
Imaginary	Available when Format is set to Real/Imaginary.Sets the imaginary component of the magnitude of the excitation.
Magnitude	Available when Format is set to Magnitude/Phase.Sets the magnitude of the excitation.
Phase	Available when Format is set to Magnitude/Phase.Sets the phase angle of the excitation.
Specify Field	Available when Format is set to Field.Specifies the frequency dependent complex field values.Options include:Select Existing Field from List opens the Fields dialog box, where you can select a field.A field can define a magnitude that varies with independent variables such as frequency, temperature, or time. For more information about fields, see Fields.Formula Constructor opens the Formula Field dialog box, where you can define a formula to construct a field.For more information, see Define a boundary condition using a formula field.Table Constructor opens the Table Field dialog box, where you can define tabular data to construct a field.For more information, see Define a boundary condition using a table field and Define a material property using a table field.Plot (XY) plots the field as an XY graph.For more information, see Graph overview.Overlay (XY) overlays a plot on an existing plot. You can overlay up to 50 plots.For more information, see Overlay plots.Scale Factor — Sets the scaling of values present in the Field.
